Modl

Modl is a modular 1 Litre bottle and strap kit that shifts between hydration, lashing, and even pillow duty without adding bulk to a pack.

How to use Modl

1. Fill or collapse the silicone body, then twist on the standard cap for a watertight seal.
2. Pick a stud connector, snap it into the strap channel, and cinch gear—dry bags, jackets, even odd-shaped camera cases.
3. Daisy-chain two Infinity Tool 2.0 straps when a single length will not circle a paddle board or tree.
4. Swap to the shower head or filtered mouthpiece if changing from trekking to camp clean-up.
5. At night, deflate halfway, wrap a spare hoodie around it, and the bottle turns into a hammock pillow.

Hands-on overview of Modl

What impressed me

• The modularity is clever; seven connector types let me jump from bike handlebar mount to bag compression without digging for extra clips.
• Flexible silicone hugs awkward shapes, stays slim in a side pocket, and rolls small once empty.
• Infinity Tool 2.0 straps feel tougher than the first iteration yet still thread smoothly through webbing loops.
• BPA-free, hypoallergenic construction keeps water tasting clean after long desert miles.
• The 1.1 L capacity covers a full morning hike and, when half filled, sits comfortably behind my neck in a hammock.

What could be better

• The learning curve on the connector set is real; I needed a short video before the stud system clicked.
• Extra straps are sold separately, nudging total cost above a regular bottle plus bungee cord.
• When packed next to sharp metal kit, the soft body asks for a stuff sack to avoid scuffs.
• Only two colour options were available at the time of testing, so matching existing gear proved tricky.

After two weeks of travel, I still reach for Modl first; the way it wraps a climbing rope one minute and carries morning coffee the next saves bag space and fuss, even if I had to practise the stud swap a few times.
